Description: | Signed: yes Description: This is a typical example of the orientalist Eugene Pavy's oeuvre. An artist who specialised in painting scenes of north Africa and the Near East, Pavy is painting here a scene of rest in a walled courtyard, its door open to the street outside, showing two men playing a board-game, watched by three others. Their animated faces and gestures show their feelings and the crammed composition in the foreground breaks away to a quiet street through the open door, thus giving depth to the picture. Pavy is known to have travelled and worked with his brother artist Philippe Pavy in the orient during the years 1870-90. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pavy, Eugene (French painter, active late 19th century) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8770... | Go to resource |
